Elder and blackberry wine

[aflan]

Hi I'm making elderberry and blackberry wine. I did the primary fermentation for 5 days then racked it into demijohn with airlock. It's been there for 6 weeks and has stopped bubbling. Do I rack again to get it off the sediment after secondary fermentation to let it clear or just leave it like this and bottle when completely clear. It's fairly clear now but not crystal. I have read in some places just to leave it in this one for up to six months before bottling. I'm a bit confused now! Help please!

I rack every 45-60 days as long as lees are still dropping and/or the lees are 1/4" thick.

You can bottle when you go 60 days with no new lees falling. Otherwise, the sediment will end up in the bottle!

I'd rack it again.

Best to continue racking on monthly intervals until lees are no longer present, or Sorbitol and filter.

I find that using sparkloid speeds up the clearing of most wines.
